Multimedia Project: Teaching relative motion with videos

I would like to teach the Utah Core science objective of motion in relative frames. I will do this by creating a video that shows a car driving past my (moving) car on the highway and then measuring the time it took for that car to pass by. I will then show the simple calculations that would go into finding the other car's velocity, both relative to me, and relative to a stationary observer. A condensed storyboard is included below:

The completed video is included below:

    Looks like it will be a good video!

    I really liked the background music. It was something that gained my attention but did not take away from the overall video. I think that the credits at the end went a little fast but other than that it was a great video.

    I enjoyed the practical way this was done. I will have to use this with my own students. However, you did bounce back and forth a couple times between speed and velocity. It could be confusing if you do that for your students unless you have instructed them that they can be interchangeable.

    I agree with Stuart. I was a bit confused by the swapping up of vocabulary too.
    I love your idea. It was so relate-able. a new concept for the kids using something they experience in everyday life.
    Also, I want to know how you put your writing of the equations in the video. I think that is super helpful for anyone doing an online class.
